Functional Descriptions:
- The transcription factor PtoMYB142 enhances drought tolerance in Populus tomentosa by regulating gibberellin catabolism.
- Overexpression of PtoMYB142 in Populus tomentosa results in a dwarfism phenotype with reduced leaf cell size, vessel lumen area, and vessel density in the stem xylem, leading to significantly enhanced drought resistance.
- PtoMYB142 modulates gibberellin catabolism in response to drought stress by binding directly to the promoter of PtoGA2ox4, a GA2-oxidase gene induced under drought stress.
- By suppressing the expression of PtoGA2ox4, the manifestation of GA-deficient characteristics, as well as the conferred resistance to drought in PtoMYB142-overexpressing poplars, was impeded.
